It gets really tiring trying to wake up people who prefer sleep....
Our numbers are still way better, yet we have lost control, and China has brought theirs under control?. How do you logically square your reasoning?
Dr. William Walters is still on duty. In 2017, Walters was boasting of prepping more Ebola evacuations even over President Trump’s opposition to the practice. And he was once again at the wheel now.
“The question was simply this: Are these evacuees?” Walters explained the decision to evacuate coronavirus patients to the United States. “And do we follow our protocol? And the answer to that was yes on both accounts.”
Consulting President Trump was not part of the protocol even on a major national security issue.
In a Congressional briefing, Walters boasted that, “the Department executed the largest non-military evacuation of U.S. citizens in its history. The safe and efficient evacuation of 1,174 people from Wuhan, China and people onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan is a testament to the agility, proficiency, and dedication of our workforce to accomplishing our core mission – advancing the interests of the American people.”
And the triumph of the administrative state and its bureaucratic protocols over the President.
At a State Department briefing, Walters stated that, “The chief of mission, right, through the U.S. embassy, is ultimately the head of all executive branch activities.”
That is the problem. Right there.
Walters got his job in 2011. He’s a relic of the Obama era. That doesn’t mean that his politics are those of his former boss. But this is not about him. It’s about the reality that the White House doesn’t make many of the most vital decisions and doesn’t even know that they’re being made until it’s too late.
“If you take action, then the damage can be limited. If you play pretend with it, then it will spiral out of control. The political risk is under reacting, not overreacting.”
Using that logic, we should “get ahead of” climate change hysteria and any other potential crisis our political enemies on the Left might choose to exploit and fear-monger.
The Trump administration is taking the REAL threat seriously and dismissing the hyperbole, and that is exactly what they should be doing.
When you accuse the Trump administration of “playing pretend” for choosing to dismiss the fake news hyperbole, you play right into their hands.
It’s panic-prone people like you that make the Left’s fear-mongering tactic possible.
I saw that press conference on youtube, but now I can't find it.
These numbers include Mainland China and All Others globally
90,937 declared cases
03,117 declared deceased
48,054 declared recovered
51,171 declared resolved
39,766 remaining active cases
The mortality rate at this time was deceased / deceased + recovered = 6.09%.
That is a fluid number that is now dropping at the rate of about 0.25% per day.
Due to the rapid increase in cases outside China, and the short period they
have had to reach the recovery phase, this mortality rate is slowing in it's
retreat. It may reach a point soon where it will start climbing again.
On 03/02 93.29% of all new cases were being reported outside of Mainland
China. At the same time, the outside China active cases only cover 24.23% of
remaining active cases. For the short term, recoveries from Mainland China
will overshadow the fresh cases outside Mainland China, but this active outside
Mainland China slice of the pie is growing by 4.4% per day.
51,171 cases have been decleared resolved, and that represents 56.271% of all
declared cases to date. (resolved = deceased or recovered)
Active cases fell by 1,164 today (03/02). This number fluctuates each day. So
far it is still declining. There are now 39,766 active cases. That is 19,043
cases fewer than the highest count of active cases at 15:13 PST on 02/17/2020.
That figure was 58,809.
The number of people who recovered today (03/02), was 2,959.
The big days of China's delcared cases are now over two weeks past, but don't
forget that over 75% of all active cases, still remain in Mainland China. This
means that China's numbers will still dominate when it comes to recoveries that
offset the rapidly growning numbers outside China. When it becomes near 50/50,
we may see a large active case growth figure return globally. Then again we
may see a large recovery figure develop outside Mainland China that will supress
the potential for active cases to mushroom numerically. We'll see.
These numbers address the cases outside of Mailand China.
10,786 declared cases
00,173 declared deceased
00,792 declared recovered
00,965 declared resolved
09,821 remaining active cases
At this point only 11.86% of all declared cases exist outside Mainland China.
(eod: 03/02)
Here's what that figure was going back in two day increments. (End Of Day figures
02/29 08.23%
02/27 05.48%
02/25 03.63%
02/23 02.78%
02/21 01.77%
The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered is 18.60%. That
figure is grosely high, and should not be used for purposes of extrapolation
of what lies ahead. It takes serveral weeks for people to be infected, and recover.
That gives the deaths a head start. As in the large body of cases above, this
mortality rate will decline, and will pick up speed as the recovery rate outside
Mainland China reaches it's full potential. That will take another week or so.
There are now 9,821 active cases outside of Mainland China. The number of
active cases grew 1,514 cases today, and that was a rate of 18.43%. (eod 03/02)
There are now 78 nations declaring cases within their borders. 1+
Three nations of the 77 nations or entities outside of Mainland China
account for over 75% of all active cases outside China at this time.
4,812 44.61% South Korea
2,036 18.88% Italy
1,501 13.92% Iran
77.41% of all cases ourside of China...
These are clearly three break-out naitons. The next possible hot spots:
France
Germany
Netherlands
Norway
Spain
Switzerland
I did not include the United States in this list, but it is on my radar. It hasn't
doubled it's cases in short order, but it is showing steady growth. It does have
the potential to show up on the next list of who to watch.
(based not only on current numbers, but the velocity at which they are adding new
numbers. ex. A nation with few numbers, can grow them exponentially if they are
currently demonstrating significant percentage growth already.)
One other rather interesting thing I noticed over the last five days or so...
I noticed a lot of new nations swarming to report their first cases. Some of these
nations weren't what you'd expect to see experiencing a lot of international travel.
It almost looks like a concerted effort to involve as many nations as possible in
short order.

Really? You’d have Pence flout the request and approach of POTUS?
. . . because the Chinese government lies about everything, all the time. Forever. Who knows how many cases or deaths there are in China? The layering of lies to cover up bad news starts at the lowest level to cover butts, and is added to an multiplied all the way up to the Liar in Chief, Comrade Xi.
We should be prudent. Appropriately. Sanely. And professionally. Like Americans.
I don’t have Twitt but maybe those that do need to start trending #Democratviruscorona
more humans die in one year from abortions, cricketts
Personally, I’m not worried about it. Maybe that’s naïve, but we were all going to die with SARS, H1N1, EBOLA, SWINE FLU, ZIKA, BIRD FLU, WEST NILE always seemed to be in an election year so that the Dems and MSM could run around yelling and whipping everyone into a frenzy. I’ll practice proper hygiene and I’m sure I’ll be okay.
A cure for this is to fire Dr. William Walters.
Pretty much all the numbers we are seeing point to a diminishing rate of infection (% growth in the rate of new infections), Exceptions are Italy and Iran, the former likes lots of touchy kissy greetings, while Iran has people who think it’s a wonderfully positive activity to get in line to lick the tombstones of saints in Qom, one after the other.

18 April 2017: AP: Feds practice Ebola evacuations despite past Trump criticism
By MATTHEW LEE
The State Department and Department of Health and Human Services said Tuesday they led an unprecedented inter-agency drill last week to test their preparedness to deal with a new outbreak of Ebola or another deadly, highly infectious disease. In the drill, 11 simulated patients were flown in specially designed bio-containment containers on a pair of 747s and three smaller Gulfstream jets from Sierra Leone to Washington’s Dulles International Airport...
“The scope of this exercise is unprecedented and a testament to the lessons learned and then changes made in the aftermath of the Ebola outbreak,” said Dr. William Walters, the managing director for operational medicine at the State Department, which coordinates the evacuations until patients clear U.S. customs and immigration. He said the U.S. was “largely unprepared” for the Ebola crisis three years ago...
As a private citizen, Trump scathingly criticized Obama for his response to the Ebola outbreak, even though health experts credited U.S. efforts for helping resolve the crisis. On Twitter and in numerous interviews, Trump called Obama “incompetent” and “nuts” and demanded that evacuations be halted, saying they were dangerous and a threat to public health in America.
Trump also called numerous times for a ban on flights to the U.S. from Ebola-infected nations, and a visa ban on citizens of those countries

Did you see those pictures of the Kirkland first responders?
Contrast that with the description of Diamond Princess African-American woman who detailed how when the Japanese first responders showed up to take her temp (the day after disembark was cancelled), they were in full head-to-toe contagion uniforms without a single inch of skin exposed.
Obama Holdovers are the virus.
LOL!!!
